An Indian Summer Outfit

Apologies again for the lack of posts–yes, I sound like a broken record but life & work has been unforgiving. On the bright side, I’m in the process of doing major fixes for my blog. Due to the influx of beauty brands asking me to test and review their products, I’m toying with the idea of expanding my scope from fashion to beauty & lifestyle as well. Why not, right? Now seems like a perfect time to widen my portfolio and talk about a subject that I’ve recently come to love and need (aka anything beauty).

Besides, that would add more variety right and the chances of me running out of things to say apart from the typical: “this is what I wore today” shtick, will be slim to none. Also, as a general promise, I will lay off on the frequency of my “deeper meaning of life” themed posts as I know it can get pretty boring and preachy.

Bear with me, I’m still figuring out how to go about fixing my blog with the help of my lovely designer–she’s just pretty busy so unless I wait, I’ll have to do this thing on my own. Don’t worry, I’ll still be posting so nothing will change for the meantime (God forbid, no broken codes please).

Anyway, here’s an outfit I wore recently. I know my style hardly grazes upon the flouncy, girly area but I do make major exceptions depending on my mood. I wish I could say there was a form of logic as to why I chose this outfit for the day but I can’t honestly remember apart from the fact that it seemed like a good decision. On hindsight, I must be channeling a Zooey Deschanel/Taylor Swift kind of manic pixie girl. Here are some more photos:

I mentioned previously that I was quite excited to test-drive the Safeguard Dermasense facial wash for Acne-prone skin (Clean & Classy). It was also very timely because I was somehow getting horrible breakouts and rogue pimples left and right. I’m not sure why, actually… it could be a combination of things such as sleeping late, not eating the right kind of food, stress, and the heat-causing germs. It’s a good thing then that Safeguard Dermasense has an antibacterial ingredient that helps fight the cause of acne: germs.

So upon continuous usage, I got to experience the product benefit of clear skin overtime. Of course, my acne isn’t really as bad but given my minor breakouts, I’ve noticed that my pimples started deflating and though I’m not completely flawless just yet as I’ve only used the product for less than 2 weeks, I can say that there’s been an apparent improvement. Now, my skin looks and feels healthy, and deeply cleaned!

So for those who want clearer skin—be it if you’re sufferers of chronic acne or just wanting to maintain acne-free skin, I suggest you do give Safeguard Dermasense (Safeguard Dermasense Facebook) a try. You certainly won’t regret it and you’re giving your skin the proper care it needs. Note sure on how to go about using Safeguard Dermasense? Check out Aryanna Epperson’s video.

How many hours of sleep do you get every night, Domz? You skin still looks radiant! If you ever have pimples, they are never halata. 🙂

Also, can we get advice about how you manage to juggle everything? You seem to juggle a lot of things. You work in the advertising industry, you do foundation work, photoshoots etc!

I’ve read that you have worked for GMA. I also work for a TV network now and juggles things outside my day job (working with different brands etc). Hope you can give me advice about dealing with stress and avoiding conflicts of interest. 🙂

Hey dear! You’d be surprised but I do get pimples–mostly stress-induced! I just always make sure to clean my skin but there’s only so much you can do when you have hormones to contend with. 😉

As for being able to juggle everything, I’d have to say that it’s quite a feat–it’s a continuous learning process. Ultimately, it’s pinning down your priorities and knowing which to focus on and which ones to give up when the going gets tough. 🙂

Concrete advise: always make sure to start your day with a to-do list. This was such a pain to do initially because I am super not organized as a person! Haha, and when I do my to-do list, I don’t exactly get to pin down everything all in one go (I do update it constantly all-through-out the day) but I’ve learned it keeps things systematize and at least there’s something concrete you’re looking at so you can start pinning down which tasks you have to prioritize. In the end and I’ve always told my friends/officemate/peers this: if things can wait, it will wait. 🙂 Don’t ever forget to give yourself a bit of “me” time too!
